Beyond Level 4 Finnish classes at the University

[Phil]

Just out of curiosity, what does the Finnish student do after level 4 at the University? I believe there is a 5 & 6 class, right? Do you still use the green book or is there a third book? What kind of things do you learn in the 5 & 6 classes? How does these speaking & writing classes fit in? ...are they after level 6?

[bess2]

there are suomi 5 and suomi 6. the book is called Kieli käyttöön - suomen kielen oppikirja edistyneille (Kenttälä) and is clearly a continuation of the blue and green books.

the topics (according to Finnish for Foreigners booklet) are:
-news
-culture
-society
-international issues
-Finland and the rest of the world
-politics and economics

And a lot of grammar of course:)

As Bess just said, Phil, there is a third book. It only seems to be available through the teacher of the course, but you might be able to order one through the language centre.
